There is a large open space in the manor, which is an internal park.
The leaves of the trees in the park are either yellow or red, with some dark green mixed in.
Among the many trees, there is one tree that is particularly strange.
There are piles of withered yellow leaves under the tree, and the branches are full of flowers. The petals are crystal clear and the color is pink.
Yun Qiao had never seen anything like this before, and was extremely curious for a moment.
Xi Lanting stepped forward, slowly took out the hand behind his back, and looked dazed: "It's fake."
Yun Qiao wanted to pick one and have a look.
Xi Lanting stopped her: "Don't pick them randomly. If someone finds fresh flower petals and cuts them like this, and then touches them one by one, wouldn't it be a waste of effort if you pick them?"
Yun Qiao was speechless.
Isn’t this manor too luxurious?
However, it is not surprising to think that people would do anything to please Master Xi Qi.
If you can get Master Xi Qi's high regard, your business will be much easier in the future, and it's hard to change for a lot of money.
Thinking this way, Yun Qiao was no longer surprised.
Xi Lanting said: "Can we have a picnic here?"
Yun Qiao said hello.
The two of them spread a blanket and placed food not far from the tree. One of the items was wrapped in layers of cotton and placed alone next to it. Yun Qiao picked it up and looked at it: "What is this?"
"I don't know, just open it and have a look." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao opened the cotton cloth, and inside was a small lunch box; the lunch box was warm, and when he opened it again, he could smell the fragrance of rice and the mellow aroma of red beans.
It's eight-treasure rice.
Yun Qiao was slightly stunned: "Uncle Qi, are you afraid that you are not a god? Can you guess what I am thinking?"
Xi Lanting: "You want to eat this? I just saw you like it last time, so I prepared it. In addition to eight-treasure rice, there are also whitebait scrambled eggs."
Yun Qiao: "..."
She suddenly felt like she was worrying too much.
The two of them were basking in the sun and eating under the tree, with the gentle wind blowing on their faces.
Yun Qiao felt extremely sweet in her heart. Maybe the eight-treasure rice was so delicious, which made her feel very good.
Xi Lanting also tasted it and commented: "It's too sweet, a bit cloying."
Yun Qiao didn't think it was sweet.
After eating, it was exactly 12:30 noon, and the sun was the brightest.
Yun Qiao rested on Xi Lanting's legs, lying flat on her back to rest. She looked at Xi Lanting and suddenly asked him: "You are always basking in the sun, why are you not dark?"
"Extraordinary talent." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
She was about to say something, but a slight breeze blew over, and delicate flower petals fell on Yun Qiao's cheeks.
Yun Qiao twisted it in his hand and said to Xi Lanting: "Uncle Qi, I think this is a real flower."
She was really curious, so she got up and got closer to take a closer look.
She didn't see the sticky traces, only saw the peach tree, which was full of flowers in mid-autumn.
She was a little shocked and a little strange: "What's going on?"
Xi Lanting: "Wouldn't it be nice to have some flowers? This may be the store's whimsy."
Yun Qiao followed his words and thought to herself: "You mean to raise it in a greenhouse and then transplant it here specially?"
Fallen leaves covered the soil, making it impossible to tell whether it had been moved.
Xi Lanting: "I don't know. People who do this kind of business naturally have good connections. If you like it, just know that others are working hard to please you. That's fine. There's no need to go into details."
Yun Qiao nodded after hearing this.
Many things in this world seem mysterious, and that's just what they are when exposed.
The people in the manor were playing a trick, and Master Bo Qi smiled. This was their intention.
Yun Qiao decided that it was man-made and stopped thinking about it, relying on Xi Lanting's legs to bask in the sun.
Xi Lanting also lay down and let her lean on his chest.
The peach tree above our head is still full of flowers, fresh and lively.
Xi Lanting thought of Shangqing Mountain again for no reason, and the peach tree planted next to Yun Qiao's father's grave.
